Abstract

The synthesis of metal and semiconductor nanoparticles is an expanding research area due to the potential applications for the development of novel technologies. Generally, nanoparticles are prepared by a variety of chemical methods which are not environmentally friendly. We report a rapid and convenient method to reductively prepare gold and silver nanoparticles from auric chloride and silver nitrate respectively. In this report we use aqueous extracts from plants indigenous to southeastern Georgia, namely the Southern Live Oak (Quercus virginiana), Southern Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora), Kudzu (Pueraria lobata) and Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda). The extracts template the reductive preparation of both gold and silver nanoparticles which are found to be < 100 nm in size. The synthesis and characterization, including FT-IR, TGA and TEM analysis of these particles will be described.

Purpose

Identify “green” pathways to produce nanoparticles using regionally (south Georgia) significant resources Presently, minimal information on using environmentally benign chemicals for particle synthesis

Prepare aqueous extract – broth prepared by boiling 20 grams of plant leaf mass in 100 mL distilled water for 5 minutes followed by filtering. Broth stored in refrigerator at 4ºC. Use extracts from: Quercus virginiana – Southern Live Oak Magnolia grandiflora – Southern Magnolia Pueraria lobata – Kudzu Pinus taeda – Loblolly Pine Add 5 mLs of extract with 100 mLs of 1 mM AgNO3 or AuCl3 heated to 75ºC. Maintain this temperature for the entire reaction (different plant extracts require different times to complete the reaction) Monitor the UV-Vis spectrum of the particle formation (exciton band near 430 nm for silver and 550 nm for gold Centrifuge product, wash 3 x with di water and perform FT-IR, TGA and TEM analysis

Conclusions

  • 1. Green methods for NP preparation are being developed
  • 2. Pine and Live oak extracts seem to be the fastest for the

preparation of both gold and silver nanoparticles while Kudzu is the slowest.

  • 3. Rate of reaction is dependent upon T and [ Mn+ ]
  • 4. IR indicates biomolecule capping agent present
  • 5. Sizes are typically on the order of 20 nm by TEM imaging.
  • 6. Some interesting triangle shaped nanoparticles are seen in

the gold nanoparticles
